They think power comes from fear and violence.
We know better. Real power comes from solidarity.

From showing up for each other.
From refusing to be divided.

American humanists are committed not to governments or nation-states, but to the safety and dignity of every human being. The Iranian people deserve peace, safety, and the right to self-determination - now, and always.

(To be clear - we don’t support temporary wars, either.)

This is despicable in its own right, and also a great example of how the SAVE act will make voting inaccessible to marginalized communities. Tell your senators to oppose voter suppression: americanhumanist.org/saveact

A Meditation on African-American Humanism: Through the Lens of a Black Disabled Feminist Skeptic from Gen-Z - TheHumanist.com "Religion may momentarily soothe the soul but it also provides a base for systems of oppression. African American Humanism counters this oppression."

Written by Adia Gardner, this essay offers a perspective that rarely gets centered and deserves to be revisited.
